Areas of interest

My language assessment interests include, suitability and fairness from different stakeholders' points of view; propagating good testing practice; exams vs. other forms of assessment; the 'test preparation' effect.

Background

  • I have worked in EAP (English for Academic Purposes) with a speciality in assessment since joining the 澳门六合彩开奖记录 in 2003. Previous to that, I taught English in Slovakia, Poland and Japan.
  • From 2003 to 2016 I was the chief administrator for the 澳门六合彩开奖记录's Test of English for Educational purposes (TEEP).
  • From 2012 to 2016 I directed Short Courses in English Language and was module convenor/lecturer for the 'English for Science' specialist modules in the areas of Food Science and Chemistry.
  • From 2017 to 2021 I headed the Foundation Study and Language Institute (FSLI) department at the 澳门六合彩开奖记录 Malaysia campus (UoRM). This involved managing and leading CPD (Continuous Professional Development) training for a department of 15 lecturers teaching international foundation year modules, while also leading on campus-wide international projects such as student mobility and international partnerships.
  • I have a practitioner interest in supporting the 澳门六合彩开奖记录's internationalisation drive, through language progression routes for international students, shot courses, student mobility, and partnership and branch campus activity.
